What Is Graph Engineering?


What Is Graph Engineering? A silhouetted person faces a tangle of light on the left that resolves into a network of glowing nodes joined by looping arrows.

Graph engineering designs an AI agent's control flow as nodes, edges, and shared state, so loops become visible, pausable, resumable, and testable.

What Are AI Evals?


AI evals: test cases pass through an AI system to a grader, which scores them.

AI evals explained: how datasets, graders, and scores tell you whether a language model feature works, and why vibe checks and benchmarks fall short.

Lima explained: how it runs Linux VMs on your Mac, powers Colima and Rancher Desktop, and replaces Docker Desktop without the licensing bill.

What Is Envoy?


A proxy sitting between two services, with a control plane above it pushing configuration down.

Envoy explained: what the proxy behind Istio and modern Kubernetes gateways does, why it exists, and how its control plane model works.

What Is Boolean Logic?


A light switch shown in two states, on and off, representing the two values of boolean logic.

Boolean logic explained: true, false, AND, OR, NOT, and the mental patterns a human needs before true or false can mean anything.

What Is a Knowledge Graph?


A small network of labeled nodes and edges connecting a person to the prizes, places, and ideas related to them.

A knowledge graph stores data as entities and relationships, not rows. Learn what it is, how it works, and when it's useful.

What Is a Software Ontology?


A layered diagram showing ubiquitous language, bounded contexts, and aggregates as the three parts of a software ontology.

A software ontology is a shared, explicit model of a domain. Understand what it is in Domain-Driven Design terms, why it exists, and how it works.

What Is the AT Protocol? A Developer's Mental Model


The AT Protocol showing a personal data server, relay, and AppView connected by data and query flows.

AT Protocol explained for software developers: identity, repos, relays, AppViews, and lexicons, plus the trade-offs that matter when you build on it.

What Is the Hourglass of Uncertainty?


An hourglass shown at three project phases: full at the start, drained at code-complete, then flipped over after shipping to production so a fresh bulb of sand begins draining through user acceptance testing.

The cone of uncertainty narrows as projects progress. The hourglass of uncertainty says it flips again at launch. Learn which one your project is on.

What Is Conway's Law?


Teams aligned to modules in a codebase, with module boundaries tracing the communication structure between teams.

Conway's Law says software mirrors the organization that built it. Learn the mechanism, the inverse Conway maneuver, and why team shape is architecture.

What is Ollama?

What is Ollama and how does it run large language models locally on consumer hardware?

What Is fzf?


fzf is a fuzzy finder that turns file selection into a fast, interactive search. Learn how it speeds up opening files in Neovim, macOS apps, and shell workflows.

What Is Claude Code?


Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that runs in your terminal, edits real files, and executes commands. Here's how it works and why it exists.

What Is Zoxide?


Zoxide is a smarter cd that learns your most-used directories and jumps to them with a short query. Learn how frecency ranking replaces path typing.

What Is nWave?


nWave is an agentic AI methodology that runs specialized agents through six waves, with human review between each, enforcing TDD and peer review.

What Are Coding Agents?


Coding agents explained: how the harness around a language model supplies repository context, tools, memory, and context management.

Coding agents explained: how harnesses, tools, memory, and context management make LLMs useful for real software engineering work.

What Is Amdahl's Law?


Diagram showing diminishing speedup as processors increase, limited by the serial fraction of a program.

Amdahl's Law sets the speed limit for parallelism. Learn why doubling cores doesn't double speed, how the serial fraction dominates, and when to optimize differently.

What Is Just-in-Time Catching Test Generation?


A diagram of the JIT catching test generation process.

Just-in-Time Catching Test Generation creates tests on-the-fly with large language models to catch bugs before they land. Learn why it exists and how it works.

What Is an OSPO?


Cover: An Open Source Program Office coordinates open source strategy, compliance, and contributions.

An Open Source Program Office (OSPO) coordinates strategy, compliance, and contributions. Learn what an OSPO is, why it exists, and how it works.

What Is OpenSSF?


Diagram showing the OpenSSF standard and its relationship to other open source standards.

SBOM is a Software Bill of Materials listing all components in software. Understand why it exists, how it works, and its role in software supply chains.

What Is the Exponential Backoff Pattern?


Exponential backoff is a retry strategy that increases wait time between attempts. Learn why it exists, how it works, and when to combine it with jitter.

Exponential backoff is a retry strategy that increases wait time between attempts. Learn why it exists, how it works, and when to combine it with jitter.
